APPLICATION

This digital GE Time Switch (15132) is a universal, electromechanical time switch which can be ﬁeld conﬁgured for various power supply voltages. The voltage options include 120VAC, 208/240VAC and 277VAC – all within the same unit! Selection of the desired supply voltage is easily achieved by positioning dipswitches on the printed circuit board assembly (consult Dipswitches Conﬁguration on back). The mechanism is mounted in a NEMA indoor or outdoor enclosure and is intended for the control of lighting, heating, air conditioning, pumps, motors, or general electrical circuits in residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural facilities.

SPECIFICATIONS

Input Voltage: 120 VAC, 208/240 VAC, or 277 VAC in all units based

upon dipswitch conﬁguration.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Before wiring or servicing, power to this time switch and the equipment it controls must be turned off. Turning off the time switch only will not prevent a shock hazard. Replace cover plate within housing before supplying power to time switch. If you are not comfortable installing this device please contact a licensed electrician. Before installing this product read all instructions carefully.

Removing Knockout

1. Select knockouts to be used. Remove the inner 1/2” knockout by inserting a ﬂathead screwdriver on the inner most ring and carefully punching the knockout loose. Remove slug. If the 3/4” knockout is required, remove the outer ring with pliers after removing the 1/2” knockout. Smooth edges with a knife if necessary.

Please refer to Quick Start Guide for Examples and More Details.

Mounting of the Time Switch Box

NOTE - Before mounting be sure to remove knockouts for the wires, (see Quick Start Guide)

1. In order to mount the box you will need the 3 supplied anchors and 3 supplied screws from the hardware list above. (Anchors included are designed for mounting on sheetrock.)

2. Using the box as a template, mark with a pencil where the three pilot holes will be drilled.

3. Using the appropriate drill bit size, drill the pilot holes (Note that if drilling into wood or metal a specialized drill bit may be needed.)

See Drill Diagram.

Material Drill Bit Size Soft Wood 5/64” Hard Wood 3/32” Metal 5/64” Sheetrock 3/16”

4. For sheetrock; use a hammer to gently tap the anchors into the pilot holes.

5. Place the box up to the pilot holes or anchors and insert the screws accordingly.

Anchors Needed? No No No Yes

Wiring the Device to the Timer

NOTE - For outdoor installation use rain tight or wet location conduit hubs that comply with requirements of UL 514B (standard for ﬁttings for conduit and outlet boxes).

1. Remove 2 screws retaining the interior cover panel and remove the panel.

2. Refer to Figure 1 and wiring diagrams to determine appropriate placement of wires. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all applicable National and Local code requirements are met. If you are unsure of these requirements, contact a licensed electrician immediately.

3. GROUNDING: This enclosure is of plastic construction and does not require a ground connection. This enclosure does not provide grounding between

conduits. When using non-metallic conduit or cable, connect

the ground wires of all cables together with the provided wire nut. When metallic conduit is used; as the grounding connection, use grounding type bushing and a jumper wire between each conduit.

Dipswitch Conﬁguration

WARNING: Failure to properly conﬁgure the dipswitch will result in damage to the unit and void any warranty! Before installing and wiring the GE Time Switch, proper conﬁguration must be selected. Unit is shipped with DIP Switches set for 277VAC Input Voltage. Also, do not check circuits by “sparking” wires to terminals. Damage to timer may result.

4. Determine the input voltage which will be applied to the timer. (120V AC, 208-240V AC, or 277V AC)

5. Set the DIP Switch according to the diagram below.

6. Reinstall interior cover panel. Opposite of step 1.

the “R” button is pressed the screen will begin to ﬂash. A paperclip may be needed for this step. (If the “R” button appears to stick down, use a paperclip to maneuver

it until it pops back up. The screen will ﬂash if the button is popped up successfully.)

2. Press the “Clock” button and the screen will stop ﬂashing and be ready for

programming.

Setting the Current Time:

1. Press and Hold the “Clock” button during the entire setting.

2. Press the “H+” button to set the hours.

3. Press the “M+” button to set the minutes.

4. Press the “Day” button to set the day of the week.

5. Release the “Clock” button.
